The game sees Native American conduit Delsin Rowe do battle with the "oppressive" Department of Unified Protection.

Rowe is able to manipulate smoke in order to launch projectiles, create smoke clouds and perform a dash move. Players will be able to replenish Rowe's smoke powers by absorbing chimney smoke and destroying cars.

Rowe will also have the ability to absorb powers from fellow conduits, although it's unclear what form these powers will take.
